First Attempt

Before:












I found this table at D.I. in American Fork.  I thought it was nice, sturdy and a good starter piece for me.

I had read several bloggers using spray paint, so I tried it!  I didn't like it.  I love the color, but spray painting just doesn't work for me.  It goes out pretty quick and doesn't leave a good finish.   So, I messed up on it.  It bubbled and I tried to just sand it, but that made it worse....

I asked my cousin Rachael, who is the artist of the operation to copy the design on the table and paint it on the top.

This one is not for sale.  Future ones will be.

Here it is!:

Welcome!

I am just now starting this site so give me time to get it up and going.
